>U.N. ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO USURP
>OUR SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS–
>WILL CONVENE CONFERENCE ON “SMALL ARMS” THIS MONTH
>
>With an absurdly lengthy title that tells you all you need to know, the
>”U.N. Conference to Review Progress Made in the Implementation of the
>Programme of Action to Prevent and Eradicate the Illicit Trade in Small
>Arms and Light Weapons in All Its Aspects,” will begin Monday, June 26.
>This meeting is a follow up to the “U.N. Conference on the Illicit Trade
>in Small Arms and Light Weapons” meeting that we reported on in the
>summer of 2001. At that time, we told you that the Bush Administration
>made it perfectly clear that the United States would not support any
>proposal that threatened our Right to Keep and Bear Arms.
>
>But the U.N., fueled and financed by the likes of Rebecca Peters and
>George Soros, is at it again–and with a vengeance.
>
>NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre has aptly noted that the
>Right to Keep and Bear Arms in defense of self, family, and country is
>self-evident. In essence, our Second Amendment shows profound respect
>for human freedom, worth, and self-destiny.
>
>But two centuries after it was codified into our Bill of Rights, the
>U.N. is trying to declare that this civil liberty is a cause of the
>world’s violence. It is trying to claim jurisdiction over sovereign
>American citizens by crafting a global treaty that calls on us to
>surrender our firearm freedom and accept whatever lesser standard of
>freedom–if any–the U.N. deems appropriate.
>
>The United States is the last truly free nation standing, offering every
>law-abiding human the greatest measure of freedom mankind has ever
>experienced, and neither the United Nations nor any other foreign
>influence may claim jurisdiction to meddle with the freedoms guaranteed
>by our Bill of Rights.
